Laser emission near 100 micrometers from intervalence band transitions of p-type Ge in E (perpendicular) B fields is reported. Our idea is to substitute a Voigt configured permanent magnet for the traditional superconducting one. We compare the results using this new design with our results using a Faraday-configured superconducting magnet. Emission is observed at much lower electric-field pulse magnitude in Voigt configuration. The use of a variable temperature cryostat has allowed detailed temperature dependence of the emission to be studied down to 1.7 K. The emission-strength peaks around 2 K, and a rapid decrease below 2 K has been observed. Heating limits the rep rate, but we have observed emission up to 30 Hz with our permanent magnet. Observation of submm emission from a Voigt-configured p-Ge laser using a permanent magnet represents a breakthrough in practicality because it considerably simplifies the device and eliminates the necessity of liquid helium, in principle.
